Ginzburg, Joseph. 
Sefer Itim le-vinah. Warsaw, Be-Defus R. Yitshak Goldman, 1886. 



Octavo, scuffed black leather spine, soiled black cloth covered boards with rubbing to the corners, free front endpaper replaced, 432 pp., fold-out color decorative chronological chart, fold-out with eight diagrams relating to the relative positions of the Earth and the Sun, with chronological charts that run up to the year 2400. Hardbound. Good. In Hebrew. (68009)
This title is a ringer in this list, but a very interesting title. It combines a Jewish interest in Astrology and the calendar. As can be seen from the illustrations there is a very scientific cast to the interest. After the title page the first of two fold-out is illustrated. The third and fourth illustrations are of the same large fold-out plate.
